Good Morning all,

Placed my first order for a Rep through Andiot. Mine had a self-inflicted delay because I had to create an account on Wise, which delay sending of any money. Timeline so far as follows:

June 26: Order Placed
July 2: Funds released to Andiot from Wise and order was moved to Processing

Currently waiting on QC pics, but Andiot has been very responsive and accommodating for my questions. I chose this TD because of the reviews on here and the pricing on the website. My order consists of two pieces:

Heritage Black Bay Red Bezel ZF 1:1 Best Edition on SS Bracelet A2824
Aqua Terra GMT Worldtimer 43mm VSF 1:1 Best Edition Summer Blue Dial on Blue Rubber Strap A8938 Super Clone

I'm excited and doing my best to resist my impatient nature. I have already identified my next order but I'll wait for this one to be delivered before I move ahead with the next. My next will consist of a Panerai and one of the two Omegas below. Any recommendations in the Omegas?

Either

Planet Ocean 43.5mm SS VSF 1:1 Best Edition Black/Orange Bezel Gray Dial on Nylon Strap A8900 Super Clone V2​

-or-

Seamaster Diver 300M VSF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Ceramic Blue Dial On SS Bracelet A8800​

-and-

PAM1118 Lum. Marina Auto 44mm FC/NY VSF P9010​

maybe its just me but i think the PO is just to thick for my taste, one'd worry that it would be too heavy on the head, but i have a small wrist so you should take this with a grain of salt 😁 but the 2 omegas from VSF you mentioned above should be the best rep available, you could go with either,, or both :LOL:

I can certainly appreciate that statement regarding it being too thick. I am undecided, but will make that decision soon for sure. Thank you for your input, though my wallet isn't as grateful for the second half of your suggestion hahaha

So an update for those that would like to know, I ended up making an adjustment to my order. The Worldtimer was taking a while, and after chatting with Andiot, he asked if I wanted to change the order to something else. I have changed that in favor of one of the VSF Seamasters he has already. There was a difference in price between the Seamaster and the Worldtimer, so I sent the difference through Wise and provided the confirmation of the transfer. Currently awaiting the QC on the Tudor.
Overall, I cannot express enough how helpful Andiot has been through this process. I will absolutely be ordering again from them.

More updates to follow!

Any particular reason why the Worldtimer was taking so long?

Good day to you all! Received shipping information this morning. Elliot explained there were some logistical challenges with shipping this week so unexpected delay on the information. His email provided all the info needed to track delivery along with the expected information around delays in initial updates on the tracking. The email also said to expect to have the watches on my wrist in ~8 days.

Good communication and while I am not necessarily a patient person, Elliot has been fantastic! Updates once I have them.

Hello everyone! Today I received my two watches. I have been very happy with the experience with Andiot and I’ll be ordering again soon. He told me that he will be getting the Vacheron Traditionelle soon so I may include one of those in my next order.

I would absolutely continue to work with Elliot. Thank you

What is the best way to order? Did you do via WhatsApp or did you go via the website?

When I first read this I honestly read in my head.... 'maybe its just me but I think the OP is just too thick for my taste'....

And I thought well that's a bit blunt to say the least!🤣 and then the second sentence really confused me so I had to re-read it, and then it all started to make sense!! 🤣🤣

Nice review OP by the way, Andiot's the man!

good call, we can never get enough of real life photos 😁

the way I do it is by clicking the small "insert images" tab under the text box (above the insert quotes), it will pop out a new window and just drag-drop your images to the window and send codes to RWI, then preview to check whether its already the way I'd wanted it to be
